strated that continuous air-brake is as prac-
tical for freight trains for passenger trains,
and il is quite evident that the money saved to
the roads by the use of air-brakes freight
trains would in a short time pay for their gen
eral introduction. The accident the Van
daia near Seeleysvile, on Wednesday morning,
would not have occurred mad there been air
brake on the train, and the loss incurred By the
collision would pay for the equ1pplng of dozen
trains with rhe air-brake. The old-fashioned
brake has survived on the freight cars too long.
Experiments have been had in various parts of
the country with the air brake applied to
freight cars, and with such excellent results that
the extension of the system to govern freight as
we'll as passenger traffic may be looked upon
certain. The railroad companies will gain by
the reform. At present the accidents on freight
trains are very frequent, owing generally to
the absence for facilities for stopping the at

greatly to increase the speed of freight trains
and the volume of traffic crowds the tracks.
The Results Quite Satisfactory.

Western reports almost uniformly of in

are also generally favorable, Notwithstanding
that rates were not maintained at last years

that whatever reductions may have been made

The Agreement win Go to Pieces.

The Agreement VIII 10 Eieccs-
The new deal regarding export business. which
went into effect on Monday last. is likely to
prove dismal failure In establishing the new
rates the average of the prevailing ocean rates
from all ports taken basis in establish
ing the through rail rate No arrangement was
made with the ocean lines that rates should re-
main stable, consequently the new deal is likely
to fall to pieces before it is fairly tested. The
Cleveland Leader says that with the taking eff
feet of these uniform rates the New York and
Boston lines have advanced their rates
without consulting the railroad authorities as
regards the matter. AS the through rate must
remain the same by all routes under the agree
ment, the railroads carrying the business to
New York and Boston must reduce their rate
correspondingly with the advance of the ocean
rates. quit the business 1t was
a very serious omission for the rail-
roads to have attempted fix rates
TO foreign ports without first consulting the
ocean lines. the sequel proves. On the other
hand, IL would have been the proper thing for
the Boston and New York ocean lines to stand
by tie rate made by the railroad connections.
The arrangement for uniform rates was made
by the railroads because the bulk of the bust
ness was going via the Philadelphia q Balti-
more. A scheme was perfected whereby New
York and Boston would get their due proper
ton, but sooner does 1t take effect than the
New York and Boston lines kill the fowl
that laid the golden eggs for them

Careful Methods Necessary.

An exchange says A close computa-
ton made some time ago shows that the
cost OF wheat production by the old
wasteful system is to the large farmer
from 40 to 80 and to the small farmer
from 30 to 60 cents per bushel. This is
on the basis of an average yield of not
more than Is bushels per acre. Now,
what do We find7 The large farmer by
adopting the careful methods in use in
older and more economical communities
by thorough cultivation and summer fall
lowing, can raise his average crop to 25
bushels per acre. The cost of raising the
greater amount being about the same as
that of the lesser, it follows that for him
the cost of production is reduced nearly
one.half. That margin is clear profit.
The small farmer can do the same thing.
BY better cultivation he can, at little if
any greater expense, secure the same
yield of'25 bushels per acre. That would
lower the cost of production to him
from between so and 60 to between 80
and 40 cents per bushe.. There would
be very comfortable profit in that, even
with wheat at lower prices than 1t has
reached or is likely to reach.

NOTHING more beautifully illustrates
the extreme goodness, meekness and
''general-purpose' Christianity of the
people of Dakota than the readiness with
which they weep and fall upon the neck
of every new governor or judge sent to
rule over them or interpret their laws,
It matters not that the new conner may be
second or third rate ward politician !;
that his only property interests in the
territory are a carpet-bag and its con-
tents; that he Is selected solely with re-
gard to his supposed influence and that
of his friends toward controlling the &C.
tion of coming national convention |;
that he is Of political faith abominable
to vast majority of bona-fde citizens J;
that, if the people had voice in his
choosing, he couldn't get smell" of the
office, that Dakota is kept out of the
Union to serve as a>political pasture for
such as he. These things make no diff
ference whatever to most of those no

MINNESOTA has state oil inspector
and he gets fees which amount TO several
thousands Of dollars. AS he has con-
demned but one lot of oil since the posi-
ton was established, it is now proposed
to abolish the office. But isn't it likely
that inspection has prevented the dealing
in unsafe oil, and that doing away with
the inspector would cause such oil to ap-
pear in market? The proposed action is
something like it would be to suspend
the laws and dismiss those charged with
their enforcement because there had been
no crime in community during certain
period. Not only Minnesota, but Dakota,
needs an oil inspector; although 1t is not
necessary that he absorb all the wealth of
a state in the way Of fees. A bill has
been introduced at Bismarck creating
such an office, and it ought to pass. One
likes to feel certain, when monkeying
about kerosene lamp, that it will not
blow up and amend ones "style Of
beauty" and this certainty would not ex-
ist were "below test oil allowed to come
